Our kinsman Gloucester is as innocent
70 From meaning treason to our royal person
As is the sucking lamb or harmless dove:
The duke is virtuous, mild and too well given
To dream on evil or to work my downfall.
Queen. Ah, what’s more dangerous than this fond affiance!
75 Seems he a dove? his feathers are but borrow’d,
For he’s disposed as the hateful raven:
Is he a lamb? his skin is surely lent him,
[♦] For he’s inclined as is the ravenous wolf.
